This decision was made following the Arab League's
resolution to resume Syria's participation in its meetings, Al-Mamlaka TV,
reported.
During a press conference, Aboul Gheit stated that Syria is
a full member of the Arab League and has the right to occupy any seat they
participate in when an invitation is issued by the host country, Saudi Arabia.
Full membershipThe decision to allow Syria to participate in the Arab
Summit means that Syria's full membership in the Arab League has been
confirmed.
A closed meeting was held at the Arab League headquarters in
Cairo where it was decided that Syrian government delegations can resume their
participation in the meetings of the Arab League Council, as well as all its
affiliated organizations and bodies, starting from May 7, 2023.
This decision was based on resolution number 8914 issued by
the league's ministerial council regarding developments in Syria.
Syrian crisis ongoingDespite the decision to resume Syria's participation in the
Arab League meetings, Aboul Gheit clarified that this does not imply that the
Syrian crisis has been resolved.
He emphasized that it is a very realistic decision that
cannot settle the crisis in a day or a month, and that it will take time to
find a resolution.
Aboul Gheit noted that Syria's return to its seat in the
Arab League is not the end, but rather a special decision for each country
individually to resume relations with Syria. This means that the decision
regarding Syria is specific to each country and its own circumstances.
The decision regarding Syria includes a monitoring committee
consisting of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Iraq.
The committee's task is to monitor the settlement process in
Syria, ensuring that the process is moving forward and that the crisis is being
addressed effectively.
